"Five days after Chris was murdered, (Taya) called and said, 'This is going to be how my children remember their father, so I want you to get right'," Hall said.
'American Sniper' tells the story of Kyle who was claimed to be the most lethal sniper in the US military history. He died in February 2013 after he and a friend were shot by a troubled veteran. The trial is still underway.
